Director of Operations Board Report

Good Evening,

Maintenance and Custodians:                   

Currently we are interviewing for 2 maintenance positions for the district. We have had approximately 10 applications and have started the process of interviews with hopes to have a decision by May 1st. We have hired someone to fill our 6-hour custodial staff person in Solon and will start to work with onboarding and training.

We have started and prepped the ball fields for spring sports. Grounds cleanup has started at all schools. We hope to have this wrapped up in the next few weeks when we have some new team members on board. We would like to thank Thomas Roderick in Solon for sweeping the parking lot at the school and filling in holes in the parking lot with crusher dust until repairs can be done. Mr. Roderick volunteered his time and donated materials to the school.

An RFP has been submitted for Grounds mowing and weed whacking for all schools.

Transportation:

 Currently at this time we have 10 out of 12 buses on the road.  We recently sent 5 buses for inspections over spring break, and all passed with no issues. We have tackled some larger repairs on buses this past month, which would have been a costly expense to outsource. Our maintenance team has been working diligently to keep the fleet on the road tackling issues as they arise. This has required more time in the garage for both of our staff. We hope that we can transition to a spot where we can do more preventative maintenance to our fleet as time moves on.

An RFP has been submitted for 1 new bus.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Christopher Roux

Director of Operations
